Jason Langer - Twenty Years

Radius Books 2015 ISBN 9781934435786 Acqn 23910
Hb 31x30cm 172pp 100ills 42.50
Jason Langer's Twenty Years pursues a solitary journey through the nocturnal streets and dimly
lit rooms of a dream like world. Spanning 20 years of his career, this aptly titled book is the first
survey of Langer's work. Included are many previously unpublished images, surrealist
experimentation and figure studies, as well as his singular investigation of the city of Berlin.
Langer's photographic language has been variously described as cinematic and poetic, haunting
and romantic. Best known for his noir visions of contemporary urban life, Langer has
photographed not only some of the world's great cities, but intimate scenes as well, ranging from
male and female nudes to inanimate objects captured in moments of lifelike feeling. Whatever
their subject, his carefully crafted images, rich with lush, black tones, exude an air of vintage,
timeless mystery --"as much Hopper and Raymond Chandler as Steichen" (Bomb magazine).

Shimooka Renjo - Pioneer Of Japanese Photography

Kokushokankokai 2014 ISBN 9784336057822 Acqn 23819
Pb 19x26cm 234pp 200ills 100col 31
Shimooka Renjo became involved with photography from its very beginnings in Japan, soon after
the insular nation was forced open in 1854. A painter, Renjos interest in photography was
sparked by the influx of new trade and technology from the West in the latter part of the 19th
century. He diligently pursued learning its principles, and by the 1860s had acquired his own
camera and equipment. Working mostly in Yokohama, he documented the progression of the
Meiji Restoration and Japanese culture of the time through numerous portraits, street scenes and
landscapes. Exhaustively researched, this fascinating book offers a detailed overview of his life
and work.

Anzali Photos By Mehdi Vosoughnia

Nazar Research Cultural Institute 2015 ISBN 9786001521898 Acqn 25101
Pb 19x22cm 120pp 82ills 19.95
Mehdi Vosoughnia presents his collection of photographs of Anzali, an Iranian port city located on
the Caspian Sea, taken during a two-year period (20122014). Although he was not born in the
city, subsequent encounters with this place of decay and dampness, gloom and greyness, have
left a long-lasting impression on him. From its architecture and buildings, to its streets, shops,
docks, and beaches, Anzali is a lonely city, a muted yet poetic place that stays with you over
time. Vosoughnias black-and-white images depict places seemingly devoid of people, yet who
are still tangible in their presence. With a nostalgic essay by Arvin Ilbeigi, filled with reflections on
the history of the city.

Our Nature - Within The Limits Of City Parks

Lecturis 2015 ISBN 9789462261181 Acqn 25113
Pb 23x28cm 80pp 46col ills 31
With this intricately folded and bound volume, Janine Schrijver presents her sizable international
photographic investigation into city parks. Over the past five years, she has photographed the
various facets of many urban parks from users, vegetation and flowers, and park features, to
leisure activities and functions, and even detrimental aspects such as littering and vandalism.
Located in popular parks in Rotterdam, The Hague, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, London, Berlin,
Antwerp, Barcelona, Vienna, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, and New York, it approaches the subject
from a familiar perspective, yet also asks for a deeper consideration of why we take such green
areas for granted.

Hello // Texas - Miyoshi Tomoyuki/Homma Takashi/Ushiro Tomohito

Du Books 2015 ISBN 9784907583408 Acqn 25184
Pb 20x24cm 200pp 105col ills 32
Based in Tokyo, photographer Tomoyuki Miyoshi founded a vintage t-shirt shop in Harajuku
called Hello Texas in 2008. His fascination with their simple graphics and nostalgia for the
American spirit they embody are at the heart of this series of images. Displayed individually or
worn by a model posing seductively, the pointedly unfashionable t-shirts are appreciated for their
purity, expressiveness, and sharp social commentary. With their distressed materials and faded
colours, these decades-old garments exude unexpected cool, whether the message is tourism, a
good cause, or enjoying nature. A brief, reflective description accompanies each of these
unappreciated tees.

Nimbus 2015 ISBN 9783907142646 Acqn 25314
Hb 27x24cm 94pp 63col ills 38.50
'In Between': the starting point and the final destination of a long journey on the Trans-Siberian
Railway. In between the centres of the big cities, where the eyes and the imagination find room to
wander. In between ambiguous perceptions and away from one's own culture. In between a
different experience of time and space, within the confining walls of the train compartment, for
many days, with complete strangers.

Tyrone Martinsson - Arctic Views. Passages In Time

Art And Theory Publishing 2015 ISBN 9789188031075 Acqn 25479
Pb 30x23cm 136pp 120ills 75col 27.95
Tyrone Martinsson researches environmental and landscape photography. This personal account
on the glaciers of Spitsbergen is a dialogue with history through stories of place and journeys
through time, connecting archives with the locations that produced them. His focus is on glaciers,
which are rapidly changing. By re-photographing the ice and comparing it to historical images, he
addresses climate change using cross-disciplinary methods. It reflects his particular interest in
how images can be used in relationships between humans and the environment, how our view of
nature and landscape changes over time, and how we cannot escape our responsibility to future
generations.

Aat Veldhoen Polaroids

Lecturis 2015 ISBN 9789462261235 Acqn 25186
Hb 13x17cm 120pp 63col ills 17.50
With the introduction of the Polaroid camera in 1947 it became possible, for the first time, to
develop photos immediately, without the intervention of a photo lab. The technique quickly
enjoyed widespread popularity among artists. Veldhoen used the Polaroid as aide mmoire and
for preliminary studies and sometimes even for capturing fleeting situations. But for him, the
Polaroid was more than just a tool. This can be seen in the polaroids taken as independent
images and taken with a great sense of ambience, light, colour and composition, such as the
intimate insights into Veldhoens home life, portraits, self-portraits, nudes, holiday snaps and
images of a documentary nature.

Heart of Darkness - by Joseph Conrad. A project by Fiona Banner Photos by Paolo

Pellegrin
Four Corners Books 2015 ISBN 9781909829053 Acqn 25401
Pb 25x32cm 312pp ills 12.99
In 2012, Fiona Banner was invited to create an exhibition of works drawn from the Archive of
Modern Conflict, a London-based collection of photographs and ephemera relating to war and
conflict. After much time delving into the archive, Banner observed a lack of images relating to
conflict in the here and now. In a reversal of roles, Banner commissioned Paolo Pellegrin, a
Magnum conflict photographer who has worked extensively in the Congo, to observe the City of
London its streets and trading floors, its costume and surrounding strip-clubs through
Conrads Heart of Darkness. The resulting photographs were first exhibited at Peer, London
under the title Mistah Kurtz He Not Dead. A selection of these images now form part of the
Archive, they can be found filed under Heart of Darkness, 2014. They also form the illustrations
for this new publication of Conrads novella, which takes the form of a luxury magazine. Heart of
Darkness (first published in 1899) is a story of trade and corruption, and of our own conflicts and
desires. From a boat moored on the banks of the Thames, Marlow narrates his story in which he
travels to the heart of the Congo in search of renegade ivory trader Kurtz, who has mesmerised
and enslaved his workers. Like many artists of her generation Banner has lived just outside the
boundaries of Londons financial district since the early 90s observed the areas close proximity to
the Square Mile and its apparent separation from it. This publication links with Banners first artist
book The Nam (1997) that references Apocalypse Now, a film that uses Conrads text as its
narrative template.

entry by Immigration and booked onto the next flight home. Released into Valeries custody for
one night only, they made the most of her hours of freedom - they stayed up all night and made
this book.

Yuji Hamada - C M Y
Fw 2015 ISBN 9789490119355 Acqn 25475
Pb 25x31cm 64pp 42col ills 24.95
The romantic notion of nature is a constructed reality, projected by man. Yuji Hamada
investigates these constructions. In his first (and celebrated) book 'Photograph' Hamada seeks to
give form to light. In the book 'C M Y' Hamada explores the images of landscapes which
surrounds us in our daily live, and influence our perspective on the landscape as we (want to) see
it. Hamada deconstructs the images through a photographic process, and later constructs new
images through a printing process. The book is made in close collaboration with graphic designer
Hans Gremmen. Together they found new ways to print colour images, in order to create a new
constructed reality.

Hush - Noa Ben-Shalom

Sternthal 2015 ISBN 9780992133733 Acqn 25496
Pb 17x24cm 312pp 200ills 100col 36
This photobook tells the story of a society living through a recurring loop of violent outbursts, in
which, time and again, life is shattered into pieces and reconstructed. Photographer Noa BenShalom chooses not to picture the more obvious scenes of direct violence, instead bringing into
focus the subtle way the apparently never-ending conflict between Israel and Palestine has
permeated all aspects of life in the two regions almost without being noticed. Through poignant
personal correspondence (in English, Arabic, and Hebrew) and images gathered between 2000
2014, Ben-Shalom enables quiet introspection within a landscape in which the absurd has
become the norm.

Philippe Van Wolputte - Temporary Penetrable Exhibition Spaces

Art Paper Editions 2015 ISBN 9789490800352 Acqn 25511
Pb 20x25cm 192pp 90ills 22.50
A long-term project by Belgian artist Philippe van Wolputte that spans over a decade, Temporary
Penetrable Exhibition Space comprises a number of site-specific interventions in the public or
semi-public space. The majority are temporary actions which are also clandestine or illegal,
meaning that they generally go unnoticed by visitors or passers-by. In so doing, Van Wolputte
raises questions about where the work begins or ends, what its boundaries are, whether or not
the interventions actually took place, and if we are even able to tell the difference. Existing
between the lines of fact and fiction, the sites documented in this volume cleverly address the
notion of urban memory.

Masakazu Murakami - Kumogakure Onsen

Roshin Books 2015 ISBN 9784990723026 Acqn 25531
Hb 23x28cm 104pp 91ills 39.95
Kumogakure has no direct translation in English. It means to be hidden by clouds, shrouded,
invisible. No longer able to endure my world, I spent two years wandering blindly through fogdraped Hokkaido and Tohoku. The same volcanic activity that gave birth to Japan is the source of
its hot springs, called onsen in Japanese. The onsen depicted in this book are but a minuscule
fraction of the 3,000 hot springs that are said to exist across the archipelago.
By chance I became fascinated with the natural steam clouds that rise from these curative,
restorative onsen. Springs vary in Japan - there are naturally warmed hot springs, mineral
springs, hidden springs, watering places, and small, ancient spa towns. No matter what the type,
anywhere is fine so long as you have hot springs and name. The banal and the extraordinary
meet at these springs, as do life and death. They heal both locals and travellers. These hot
springs are suffused with nostalgia and afford the pleasure of unique visual experiences. These
are the places I rambled through, taking photographs.

Masahisa Fukase - Wonderful Days

Roshin Books 2015 ISBN 9784990723033 Acqn 25532
Hb 21x23cm 64pp 31ills 33.95
Masahisa Fukase and his wife, Yoko, began their new married life moving in to Matsubara-danchi
residential complex of Soka, Saitama in 1964. They were soon joined by a Siamese cat named
Kabo. A few years later Fukase brought home a black cat that he had picked up on the way home
from fishing- a cat which he named Hebo. From then on the couple lived their day-to-day life with
these two cats.
This photo collection was made from the the few remaining vintage prints from that the time. The
work is joined by another series of photos of a cat named Sasuke which Fukase had special
affection for.
